Syrian Rebels Claim Killing Russian General
2012-08-08

The FSA claims it has killed Russian general Vladmir Petrovic Kojaiv and his translator Ahmed Aiq.

A number of documents and maps were also claimed to have been captured with the pair.
That seems unwise...

#6  General Kojaiv, speaking from Moscow, denies the claim here.

Russian General Vladimir Petrovich Kojye denied reports he was killed by Syrian rebels on Wednesday. "I wish to confirm that I am live and well," he told reporters in Moscow. He did not mention when he last visited Damascus.
 
"My phone hasn't stop ringing all day," he told Russia's Interfax news agency.
